To all:

        Could everyone please just lighten up!  Nobody is talking about
taking provisions to limit the Constitution here!  If any positive or
negative changes occur because of people who speak out on this issue, it
would be due to PRIVATE action, not PUBLIC action.  There is no "they" on
the mailing list, just "us."  If any one of "us" is displeased with
anything or anyone on the list, he or she can rightly express that opinion.
If it comes out like "he shouldn't say that" or "they shouldn't do that,"
it is only an OPINION.  Otherwise, it doesn't mean jack, because no
individual has any more power than anyone else.  Everyone also has the
right NOT to express their opinion, a right certain people should exercise
more often, particularly people who like to plague The Who mailing list
with insulting idle chatter.

                                                                    Stacey
